Open to Westport residents | Grades 5- 8
Westport PAL Girl’s Lacrosse creates a fun, safe and respectful environment for girls to learn the fundamental skills of lacrosse. Our goal is to instill in players of all abilities the love we share for the game, respect for their teammates, personal responsibility, a healthy competitive spirit, an understanding of good sportsmanship and a bunch of fun.
We welcome new players into our program at all ages and playing/ability levels. We do not cut anyone from our program. Instead, we attempt to place each player on a team that will allow the young athlete to build confidence and develop at the quickest pace while enjoying the sport.
Season Information
Early Discount of $50 is offered until January 9, 2025
Travel Team Commitment: Lacrosse is a Spring sport and we expect our girls to commit to lacrosse and their team as their primary Spring sport.
